En PERSÉPOLIS, Satrapi muestra la situación política d Irán durante el reinado del Sha Reza Pahlevi. Los padres d la niña (Marjane) son comunistas q viven bien pero están hartos d la corrupción y excesos del régimen. Añoran un cambio aunque sea con los ayatola, en 79. ¿Les suena?
Qué pena. Una vida de triunfo y de tremenda tristeza. PERSÉPOLIS, ese peliculón autobiográfico que realizó basado en sus propios cómics, habla de la vida en Irán antes y después de la llegada de los ayatolas. En México el filme resuena especialmente. QEPD.

Gaspar Noé explains the reason he used Cocaine while filming "Irreversible" (2002):
"Most of the movie, I was doing the camera, it was a handheld camera. And I’m not proud of this but — I’m not a cokehead, I get allergic — but there were some members of the crew that were doing coke and when the camera has to go up the stairs, down the stairs and turn around, at a point, my arms were hurting and my friends on the set were giving me coke. And you feel strong and you feel like a superhero, you run up the stairs and turn the camera. I was really happy that helped me achieve the scene.
But after two days of shooting up the stairs and down the stairs and turning the camera, I’m not a strong man at all but the camera was very heavy. I had done such a muscular effort that the moment this spell of cocaine was over, the pain started and I could not even raise a glass of vodka.[laughs]"
